Hi, I'm Kevin.
Born and raised in Boston, I studied economics at Harvard and moved to New York after graduation to launch my career. I started off in investment banking at Citigroup, advising corporates across industries on negotiating mergers and acquisitions. I then transitioned to management consulting at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), where I partnered with Fortune 500 leaders on strategic and operational initiatives to drive value for their companies.
​​
After several years of advisory work, I transitioned to being an operator and joined Homebase, an growth-stage software company in San Francisco where I led the development of new products. Having enjoyed the entrepreneurial spirit of working at a growing business, I headed off to Stanford Graduate School of Business to further explore a career in technology and entrepreneurship. I spent my two years building with classmates, specifically in crypto and in AI. I spent my MBA summer at KKR where I led sales enablement efforts to scale a growing software business.
After graduation, I pivoted to early-stage investing and was Chief of Staff to Mark Pincus (founder of Zynga) at Workplay Ventures, investing in consumer internet, social, gaming, and AI. Today, I continue to reside in the Bay Area and am Director of Diversified Investments at Starbloom Capital, investing and incubating companies in crypto, neuroAI, longevity and more.
As the son of blue-collar immigrants who didn't have the opportunity to attend college, I relied heavily on mentors and sponsors to guide me through each stage of my career. Coaches and advisors have been integral to my career progression, and I am excited to serve as a resource to the next generation of aspiring leaders. With years of academic and professional experience across firms, universities, and industries on both coasts, I look forward to partnering with you as you pursue your next endeavor.
